Hi Christian Chat Community,


John 11:35 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

35 Jesus wept.


This is the shortest verse in the Scriptures/Bible.

Why did Yeshua/Jesus Weep? What does the Weeping manifest? Do True Disciples follow the same example?

Yes, Jesus wept. Apparently He couldn't take the crap down here either.

I believe that He wept for Lazarus who was dead. Even though He was going to raise him from the dead at the moment Jesus wept Lazarus was no longer alive. Perhaps He missed him terribly.

Jesus wept is my favorite verse in the bible because even though Jesus is divine He was also human and by weeping His humanity showed through in a way that I can relate too.

Glad to have you onboard with us and looking forward to your posts. Welcome to CC.

May be more fitting in the Bible Discussion section, rather than the section for introducing yourself.

Welcome to CC and nice to meet you. Thank you for the question. Since Jesus was part human and part divine, I think He felt the sorrow of His friends and also may have been saddened by the thought that Lazarus was actually alive, just on the other side, and these friends could not see that. I hope you enjoy what the forums have to offer here, God bless you there in the beautiful UK!

Proverbs 18:24 King James Version (KJV)

24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.



What did Lazarus do to earn the title of Friend?
